31. In my case you called me names, insulted my intelligence and integrity.

I hold a C&R FFL, own more guns than I have fingers, know local and national laws and probably more about firearm development and its effect on warfare than most.

All that I've been met with derision, name calling and insults.

That is how gun nutters respond to everyone who isn't another rabid gun but.
